Two Girls

I’m not the girl I was before

I’m not even the same

I’m simply the reflection

Of someone who has my name.



For she was someone bitter

Who hated what she was

It ate away at all her dreams

The way it always does.



She pushed herself away from life

Let others take the lead

Hoping that no one would see

The way she’d always bleed.



But she wasn’t an actress

Her thoughts were shown to everyone

When people were like predators

She had nowhere to run.



She had to face herself and them

And was lost within the pain

Soon everyone forgot her

In forever she remains.



I’m not the girl I was before

I do not have to bleed

I’m just a girl that’s all alone

I’m not the one who fleed.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Now the question I meant to provoke here is which life is really better: The one who couldn't hide what she was and died for what others saw, or the one who refuses to let anyone see her and is content to be alone.
